Snarky Old Fart (in training)
Made it to Dallas.
Had overpriced airport BBQ from Dickies... Meh.
Wife's crispy chicken sandwich was extra crispy, and the Mac-n-cheese had sat under the warmer too long. My brisket was ok. Fries were fresh.
We board in just under an hour, then off to Vegas!
There are two (that I know of) authors named Troy attending out of about 1200 at the conference. So the other Troy and I and are doing a selfie challenge. The other authors have to seek us out and get a selfie with us. No prizes but the challenge is to find us both, and get selfies with each.
We did that a few years ago, but were eclipsed by the father of the organizer. He wasn't an author, but came down for moral support of his son. A lot of Craig's family helped at the conference, and it became a fun contest to take selfies with Craig's Dad. Unfortunately, he passed away last year. So Troy-1 and I (Troy-2) are stepping into the breach. Get Troy-squared selfies and post them.
FYI: If anyone is into Military Sci-Fi books, check out Craig Martelle's work. He's passed the torch to a new team to run the conference, but he's reportedly pretty good on the Sci-Fi for an old worn-out Marine of an author.
